HC Deb 25 May 1950 vol 475 cc281-2W
116. Lieut.- Commander Hutchison

asked the Minister of Pensions if he will grant pensions to the widows of disabled ex-Service men of the 1914–18 war in cases where the marriage took place after the disablement of the husband and his death occurred prior to 3rd September, 1939.

Mr. Marquand

This matter has been considered on many occasions. The Government regret that they are unable to give further retrospective effect to the change which they introduced in 1946.
